London is buzzing this week, so if you’re wondering what to do, let’s dive straight into some of the best things happening across the city over the next few days.

According to Londonist’s weekend guide, Cirque du Soleil is back at the Royal Albert Hall, bringing its trademark mix of jaw-dropping acrobatics, live music, and surreal storytelling under that iconic domed roof. If listeners want something big, visually spectacular, and indoors for a winter evening, this is a standout choice with performances running across the week.

Secret London highlights a brilliant free challenge at BOX Piccadilly today and tomorrow, where the new sports bar is giving away pints in exchange for pull-ups. It’s a fun, tongue‑in‑cheek way to test those New Year’s resolutions: hit the pull‑up bar, impress the staff, and you could literally earn your drink.

For art lovers, Resident Magazine reports that the Moco Museum next to Marble Arch has just launched its London season, open daily with works by big names like Warhol and Banksy, plus a special exhibition of pieces linked to Robbie Williams. It’s modern, digital, and immersive, perfect if listeners want culture with a contemporary twist.

If you’re heading into the weekend with family, The O2’s official site confirms that Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live roars into the arena on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 January, with afternoon and evening shows featuring giant trucks, car‑crushing stunts, and kid‑friendly mayhem. Just note The O2 warns of Jubilee line closures at North Greenwich, so plan extra travel time or use alternative routes.

Londonist also points listeners to the legendary No Trousers Tube Ride this weekend, a surreal annual flash‑mob style event where participants ride the Underground in full winter gear on top – and just underwear below. It’s cheeky, daft, and a very London kind of performance art.

For something calmer, the British Library’s Fairy Tales exhibition, highlighted by Time Out, invites listeners to step into the worlds of Goldilocks, Aladdin, and more through books, interactive displays, and theatrical design – a cosy cultural escape from the cold.
